"Performing miracles, Isabelle, isn't a matter of doing the impossible, it's a matter of redefining the possible. " - The Universe

"What I want to show you with this blog is that you don't need to be featured in a Sparkpeople article, a website, or in a magazine to be a success story. Every time you make a good choice, every time you come back on track after indulging, every time you run, every time you get up and move, every time you eat right, you have success; you ARE success." - WUMPASTAR

"I know that words are powerful, and when I tell myself that I'm not worth it, it scars my soul to believing that it's true. If I changed the narration of my life, it will most likely show on the outside too. It has to come from within though..." - WISHFULDREAMING

"Keep pushing your comfort zone, guys. You never know what kind of fun is on the other side." KJYUMANG

"7. Trying to be perfect works against your weight loss goal. This is so true! Perfectionism can lead us to failure, frustration and create setbacks. Did I ever wish to have a “perfect month” of eating right and exercise every day? Of course! Is this my reality? Definitely not: meetings, birthdays, events, kids, chores, appointments, etc. Would I let go, because I didn’t have a “perfect month”? Never ever!"

"You know what you want. You even know what it takes to get there. Your skill or ability is not holding you back. It is FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. Time to get over it this week and take some BIG STEPS toward BRINGING OUT YOUR WARRIOR WITHIN..." www.trainingforwarriors.com

"When I'm thinking about driving, there are some days that I am spot on--I stay in my lane, I'm awake and conscious of other people, and it's not very hard to get to where I'm going. There are other days where I struggle--I'm tired, have road rage, and I just might not be paying attention. When that happens, I may drift into another lane, and I can feel the warning bumps from the street saying "hey, get back over there." That's how I feel about this whole weightloss journey. Sometimes I'm going to be just awesome. Working out, saying no to food I don't need, and just having a great time of it. Sometimes, I'm going to struggle to stay inside the lanes...I may veer into another lane a bit, but when I have those times, I need to remember to not just let it continue to happen (or I could crash and burn), but to correct it and keep on driving." -THEABSURDEXTENT

Thanks for stopping by, doing ok, very busy at work with the pending holidays coming up. Training going good, I am in the following mood: "Screw the Scale" because if I look in the miror and my measurements I have shrunk *lol*. Have a nice week.

Thanks so much for not only my goodie, but your very inspirational words! You are right: if I dwell on the oops and not the moving forward, I will never get thru my journey to better health and weight loss!
